Another quotation from Poirot, on the occasion of his willingly paying off a bet he'd lost:

"I am as magnanimous in defeat as I am modest in victory."

How about Soy tan magnánimo en la derrota como modesto en la victoria?

Sound okay?

Muy bien, Glen...
Sólo me acuerdo de Poirot de cuando leí, de niño, "Muerte en las nubes"... (Death in the Air/Death in the Clouds)... La tengo por ahí en inglés... para volverla a leer (esta vez en versión original... "no doblada")

(Buen tipo, Monsieur Hercules Poirot...)
